Why scrape burrs after neck-trimming?
Is it to allow consistent caliper measurement of the case length, or for other safety reasons? I realize that any internal burrs will scrape bullets and create asymmetrical aerodynamics (like a speed brake/spoiler panel partly extended on just one wing).
What is the main reason to remove External burrs? My only reloading has been for 'British '303', but just deprimed and now trimming the first cases for 30-06 reloading. It is LC M2 Ball, which will be used in the Garand (Service Grade, CMP). |

So the burrs won`t catch & scrunch a neck & ease bullet seating , a must seating lead bullets !

So you can see what burrs on the inside of the case mouth will do...
What's different on the outside? That cartridge case has to sit in a nice, tight, form-fitting chamber, right? It just makes sense. Like making a clean cut in a piece of wood, sanding it and then blowing the sawdust out of it before you'd ever think about staining the wood, ya know?

You need to debur/chamfer because
1. It is very easy to do and takes no effort to improve the looks 2. Because when you chamber the round, a bur can act like a heavy crimp and really raise the pressure |

That's very clear.
Thanks. |

It is just sloppy not to. It will be an inconsistency. It could possibly cause chambering problems if severe enough. It will interfere with the crimp if crimping.
